BILLING AND PAYMENTS

ADVANCE PAYMENTS AND/OR DEPOSITS: We may require you to make deposits or advance payments for Services, which we may use to satisfy your initial bill for Services, to offset against any unpaid balance on your account, or as otherwise set forth in the TAC or permitted by law. Interest will not be paid on advance payments or deposits unless required by law. We may require additional advance payments or deposits if we determine that the initial payment was inadequate. Based on your creditworthiness or for other reasons, we may establish limits and restrict service or features as we deem appropriate. If your account balance goes beyond the limit we set for you, we may immediately interrupt or suspend service until your balance is brought below the limit. Any charges you incur in excess of your limit become immediately due. Upon determination solely by Home Telecom of satisfactory payment history or as required by law, Home Telecom may begin refunding of the deposit or advance payment through bill credits, cash payments, or as otherwise determined solely by Home Telecom.

PAYMENT CYCLE AND CANCELLATION: Billing for the Services commences when Home Telecom has provisioned the Services. Recurring charges for each month's Services will be billed one month in advance. Billing is based on a 30-day cycle. Non-recurring and usage-based charges for the Services generally will be billed in the billing cycle following the transaction. Your first bill for Services may include pro-rated charges for a partial monthly period prior to the beginning of your first monthly billing cycle. Upon termination you will be charged for the pro-rated number of days for which you had Services in that billing cycle and, if applicable, you will receive a credit for any balance of payments for Services billed in advance. A downgrade fee may apply if you make changes to your Service within thirty (30) days of Service provisioning or later programming orders.

Unless otherwise set forth in Benefits materials, standard monthly rates will be charged at the conclusion of the Benefits period or when you no longer qualify for the Benefits.

EQUIPMENT

The Services include certain service specific equipment set forth in Schedule 1 and/or Schedule 2 that is required for the Services to function (service-specific equipment herein collectively referred to as "Equipment").

The Equipment requires electrical power from your premises to operate, which you are responsible for providing. You may also have an Optical Network Terminal ("ONT"), which is a box typically located on the side of your house or in your garage, where Home Telecom's fiber network terminates. The ONT also requires electrical power from your home to operate, which you are responsible for providing. Home Telecom installs an initial power supply box for the ONT when the first resident at a premise orders Home Telecom FTTH services. The ONT power supply box converts the AC power in your home to the DC power required by the ONT.

BACKUP BATTERY FOR ONT: If there is an ONT at your premises and you are the first resident at the premises to order Home Telecom FTTH services, Home Telecom provides the initial backup battery for the ONT power supply box to you at no additional charge when your first Home Telecom service is installed. If a prior resident of the premises was the first resident to order Home Telecom services, Home Telecom provides the replacement backup battery for the ONT power supply box to you at no additional charge. Afterwards, Home Telecom will replace backup batteries based on alarms received in our central office.

See Schedule 1, section IV, for more information on Power Outages and Backup Batteries.

Home Telecom reserves the right to manage the Equipment during the time you are an Home Telecom customer and retains exclusive rights to data generated by the Equipment. Neither you nor a third party may change, interfere with, or block access to the Equipment data or settings. Home Telecom will repair or replace damaged Equipment as Home Telecom deems necessary. You understand that repair or replacement of the Equipment may delete stored content, reset personal settings, or otherwise alter the Equipment. If the Equipment was damaged due to your intentional acts or negligence as determined by Home Telecom, you will be responsible for the price of repair or replacement. Any tampering with the Equipment, including, for example, opening and attempting to modify the Equipment, or attempting to connect the Equipment to other hardware, will be treated as damage due to your intentional acts or negligence. You agree that you will use the Equipment only for its intended residential use, and not for any other purpose (such as on another Home Telecom network, or on another provider's (non-Home Telecom) network).
